Rob Asher is the CEO and co-founder of Giraffe, a real estate development platform accelerating site discovery and design through real-time data and connectivity. With a background in architecture and BIM, Rob bridges tech and development to build more sustainable, equitable cities. He lives in Sydney, Australia.
Giraffe is a common data environment used by architects, developers, and governments to mash up design, planning, and finance in real time. It breaks the old BIM silos, blends in GIS, and turns spatial data into a live decision-making tool—blurring the lines between who designs, who decides, and who pays. Bonus: you can do visual programming inside, just like Grasshopper.
